'merica day 2011

My love of all things beach/pool/summer related is no secret. It therefore stands to reason that I freak out like a small child whenever the 4th of July comes around.

We did a little bit of everything this year: lakehouse, pool, cookouts, beers, games...
















If you don't believe me, I have the tan lines to prove it.  :) 'MERICA!

las vegas 2011: the pool

We go to the Mirage pool a lot while we're in Vegas. There's really not much more to say.

















We even splurged and got a cabana one afternoon...although it just ended up being an expensive place to put our stuff. The pool/Dolphin Bar is pretty much my favorite part of going to Vegas. Yes, I can go to my pick of pools in Dallas. There's just something about that pool, the weather...the $20 margaritas. Mmmm...

And that concludes our look at Las Vegas 2011! I hope you had fun. :)

memorial day 2011

Yes, I know it was a week ago. I was waiting on pictures from Kenji's awesome water-proof camera, however he is a boy and boys take forever to give people their pictures. Because they are doody-heads.

Picture mongering aside, everyone had the best freaking time hanging by the pool all day and eating an unreasonable amount of burgers, hot links, ribs, potato salad, stuffed peppers, queso, and guacamole.

As you can tell, we are all about moderation.










Corban and I got really sunburned, being confused on the distinction between sunblock and tanning lotion.

And, that's how we learned out lesson.
